Sandy,
I regret to inform you that I can no longer work for the City of Elk River. The
stress has been too much, and it's caused me to fall behind on things here and
not do as well a job as I should be doing. Plus I completely forgot about the
Open House this weekend so I figure I'm going to be let go anyway. I'm very
sorry for the short notice.
Sincerely,
Greg Gengler
City
